This 7 1/8" long, medium weight, jelly or preserve spoon tells its own story, but only in part. The flat end handle engraved with ivy and wriggle work detailing, the beveled stem, and the lobed bowl all reflect a circa 1860 style of American coin silver. As this is only marked "Coin" and "10," however, the exact maker and locale for its production is uncertain. It is a handsome piece, and reflects a degree of sophistication that only an establish producer in an urban setting would have genera... Click for details

This coin silver fork is unusual in several ways. First, it is a mid 19th century example of a pattern, Fiddle Thread, that while common, was not produced in quantity by Gorham which manufactured this. Secondly it is stamped "Gorham & Co." which was a short-lived mark. Lastly it is imprinted "Pure Coin." This term was largely indigenous to New England, but again infrequently used by Gorham. The piece itself is 7 1/8" long and heavy. It was likely a tea fork, but might have been used as a l... Click for details

A very impressive pair of sterling gravy boats made by John Pollock of London in 1752. They have that early wide squat form, fully chased and supported on three hoofed feet, bearing masks of a very hirsute Royalist-looking character. The handles, too, terminate in a leopards head. The human masks are incredible, massive with deep relief and full of detail. Under the front lip is a cartouche bearing a contemporary monogram of, what appears to be, back-to-back entwined C's. Wonderful condition, c... Click for details
